"No, no, p-please," Rell stammered, hopping up and gesturing for them to follow him. He led them back to their table at the back of the seatin...

2024-09-17 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostThey did a whole lot of nothing that night, Beth and Blood both hanging out on the couch and watching the wallscreen, happy to be out of the underground finally. The only work Beth did was a bit of studying on the gems she had turned over to the t...
2024-09-16 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBeth and Blood returned to the city, finding their way out of the mountains quite quickly thanks to their improved skills. Blood had achieved Gold in Swift shortly after the fight with Veren, and that boost to her speed let h...
2024-09-12 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostVal watched the interview go on for a few minutes before intervening, calling over her press manager and having them distract the press pool. They moved on to interview the fighters that were part of the Young Scion contingent, giving Val and Tyra...

"Sorry, let me handle this," Val immediately said, signaling to her team to back off. A signal that was seen and promptly ignored, or rather, ignored by the usual suspects. S...
2024-09-10 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostVallenna Ameriah Sanguinia, or rather, Val, as she privately preferred, was not having a very good day.
It had all started with a far too early morning, being hounded by their press relations team lead, before ...

"Immensely," he chuckled. "Much as I would like to stabilize my breakthrough, I will leave you to heal."

2024-09-05 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"You can come down now," he said in a deep, gravelly voice, somewhat surprising from such a youthful and handsome man.
The two exchanged a brief glance, not needing words to communicate the question and response passing ba...
2024-09-04 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostDespite the presence of a top predator like the Devourer nearby, the tunnels in the area were not empty, quite the opposite. The main opponents they faced were more troglodytes, but they also encountered a healthy mixture of cave trolls in amongst...

2024-09-02 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostBlood proved invaluable here, though not directly for hunting minerals, as it was her nose that was extremely helpful, and she couldn't really smell minerals from very far away. What she could smell, however, was the scent of new and different bea...
2024-08-29 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostHer next stop was one she had been thinking about off and on for a while, though she still likely wouldn't be making a ton of purchases. At least, not until she got a better portable accommodation than the tents she and Blood both had stashed in t...
2024-08-28 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early afternoon before Beth roused herself and dragged Blood away from her little smoke session with Rell, the wolf complaining doggedly about the disturbance. She was happy to have Blood sit around and do nothing if the lupine woman desire...
2024-08-27 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostBeth woke early the next morning, before dawn, and found she had a face-full of mane, snorting a little at the fur. She shifted Blood up and to the side, having her only partly sprawled over Beth, the wolf waking and grumbling at the movement but ...
2024-08-26 17:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostBeth exchanged a bow with the woman, who surprisingly walked up to Beth afterwards, exiting the field with her at a glare from the ref. She clearly wanted to talk, so Beth moved to a space at the edge of the arena floor and gestured for her to go ...
2024-08-22 17:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe ref had quickly shooed them from the field, and Beth was tempted to immediately sign up for yet another match, but her stomach had turned into a supermassive singularity at that point. She left the floor of the arena and moved back into the ma...
2024-08-21 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was about a minute before the duel on field four wrapped up, Beth having observed for a handful of seconds before dismissing both of the fighters. It wasn't really arrogance, but they were both little better than the last opponent she had faced...
2024-08-20 17:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe opponent gave a barely passable bow before he hurried away, the near-nude ref also chasing Beth from the ring immediately as there were more fights already lined up. She left the arena floor, but instead of returning to the lobby or elsewhere,...

"Lead on," Beth replied simply.
Rell gave a grunt of acknowledgement, starting to jog down the road, slow...

2024-08-12 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostBeth led them down the street, finding it paved in some kind of material she was unfamiliar with in the center with plenty of trees and greenery along the edges. The lane they walked down was meant for pedestrian traffic, though that didn't necess...

2024-08-06 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThey arrived at the Hall incredibly quickly, still chuckling as they entered through the lobby. Both Tazeen and Lyrissa were behind the front counter, and there was a small group gathered around Lyrissa discussing something with her. She was appar...
2024-08-05 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostTheir next stop was the lounge again, which was somewhat bustling with people, to Beth's slight surprise. Then again, she and Blood spent most of their time in the middle of nowhere, and the little they didn't they spent sequestered in their room....
